Meet Our Incredible Dogs

Biscuit

Companion to Lasagna Chef Ivette

Biscuit seized each day and always conquered every obstacle that came his way. He overcame many health issues and came out stronger each time. He taught our family to value each moment, never give up, and enjoy each day to the fullest as we never know what tomorrow will bring. He ultimately showed us that it doesn’t matter where you’ve been, only where you’re going. He taught me resilience and joy in the simple things.

Toro

Companion to  Andria

Toro was a senior rescue who had already been diagnosed with terminal cancer when there was a push to get him out of the rescue and into a home. I instantly said yes—but really, Toro made the decision before I had much time to think about it. He ran right to me, sat beside me, and put his head in my lap.And that was that. He picked me. I got to watch this beautiful senior dog realize that he was safe and home. His demeanor changed, and you could see the gratitude in him. He was always so happy. He loved to snuggle, happily took advantage of every nap the kids took, and quietly watched over them with this wonderful combination of protectiveness and tenderness. There was something extraordinary about how gentle he was. Whatever his life had looked like before us, he didn’t let it take away his ability to trust, love, or find joy. He simply settled into being ours—and somehow made it feel like we had always been his. Toro taught me that love is kind and gentle. He taught me that sometimes being chosen happens in an instant, with a head placed quietly in your lap. We knew our time together wouldn’t be long enough, but I would say yes to him again without hesitation. He found his home, and I found one of the most beautiful souls I have ever known. His softness was his strength.

Kona

Companion to Lasagna Chef Courtney

One of my favorite memories of Kona is her love for people. I used to take her to dog parks and instead of playing with other dogs she went person to person to get pet! Kona taught me responsibility and gratitude

Drako

Companion to  Katie

Draco was a steady presence for me during the hard first year of COVID as I worked in healthcare. He was calm, sweet and always ready for an adventure. I found out he was sick and he was resilient through treatment until the end. I miss him everyday. He taught me resilience, unconditional love, and joy in the lights things,

Companion to Lasagna Chef Barbara

She was our door bell, guardian, dish washer 😆and faithful companion. Unconditional love was her gift to us. All her spots were our stars in the heavens!

Murphy

Companion to  Haley

Murphy’s light still shines bright. His impact has rippled throughout our community, and friends still think of him regularly. Murphy helped foster countless kittens, bunnies, and even guinea pigs. He welcomed these tiny animals into his home; He shared his space, food, toys, and his human! He was so gentle and patient, and showed his foster babies how to live in a home and made them so much more adoptable by having a great experience with a dog. Murphy taught me how to love, showed me what family meant, and gave me stability. He was my 13 year support system and my constant. He had a beautiful life.

PuLiki

Companion to Lasagna Chef Donna

I discovered this precious little gem on a trip to Hawaii. I visited a shelter to drop off a donation of food and saw this gorgeous girl just as I walked in. She reached out to grab me with a paw as I walked by. I left with her that day.She literally kept me functioning during the pandemic. She was my connection to sanity. I was heartbroken and devastated when she became ill but for the 11 years she was my roommate she filled my house with joy and her feline energy was so missed when she passed.

Gia

Companion to Lasagna Chef Jaime

Gia was my soul dog, the ultimate companion. Gia was the embodiment of unconditional love and kindness. She was also an unrepentant food thief 🙂

Fenway

Companion to Lasagna Chef Jan

Fenway, our Doxie, was lovable, loyal, and loving, while at the same time he was full of spunk and spirit. We called him our shadow, our goodest boy. At the end we called him our sweet old man. Fenway lived with us on our boat in Boston, traveled down south with us each winter, enjoyed our motor home, and lived here on Cape Cod with us for much of his life. He taught us unconditional love and that you don’t have to be big to be brave. We lost him in May and we will love and miss him forever.

Drew

Companion to Lasagna Chef Tia

Drew was loved by everyone he came across. People remember his name if they didn’t remember mine; he was that special. HE taught me unconditional love, for sure.

Bella

Companion to Lasagna Chef Laura

Bella was absolutely perfect. She was incredibly smart and loving, she gave gentle kisses by touching her nose to your cheek when I said ‘give kiss’. She was beautiful and my sweet babygirl. From the day I rescued her she never left my side. Its so hard just to pick one picture because she is just so incredibly photogenic. She loved the water, boat rides, biking with me, the beach and people. But she was also my protector, she saved me from and intruder one night when I got home very late from work, went to let her out and she knew there was someone lurking and chased him off our property. She taught me not to take granted of the time we get with people and our furbabies, their time with us is so short and we are their whole lives. She taught me how important it is to involve them in every aspect of life and to let them experience everything too, it’s their first time doing life as well! I’m so grateful for all the adventures we had and bringing her along with me as much as I could, seeing things through her eyes. I miss her every single day but I’m so grateful for everyday I got to spend with her and be her mom.

Plissken

Companion to Lasagna Chef Michela

Five months ago, we said goodbye to our soul dog, Plissken.. We lost him to an aggressive, cruel, fast-moving cancer, and before we could even catch our breath, he was gone.
Plissken had a way of making friends with everyone and everything. Even a stray cat we lovingly called Frank, who would follow us on our morning walks. Every morning, Plissken would search for his little friend, and when Frank suddenly stopped appearing, I found myself explaining to Plissken that maybe he had found a home or someone had found him. For months afterward, he still looked for him.
That was Plissken – gentle, curious, kind, and always finding joy in the smallest things. He taught us that there is always room for another friend and that kindness can be given freely. What I miss most are those ordinary mornings, when I didn’t realize I was living some of the moments I would one day treasure most. Plissken taught us to find joy in the little things – a little ladybug, the peace in a sunrise, snuggles under a blanket. He always lead with kindness, and to appreciate the simple moments that make life beautiful. He was the gentlest soul, and somehow, he made everyone around him a little softer. I would give anything for more time with him, but I will forever be grateful for the love, kindness, and joy he brought into our lives.He was truly unforgettable, and I will miss his beautiful soul for the rest of my life.
